Viral Cats Hamper Giveaway

Regular readers of my blog will know I (well and the Mister) have three cats, often referred to as my fur-kids (we don't have small people yet) and they are just a little bit spoilt, okay a lot spoilt but their happiness means a lot to me, even if a 5am sing song is not really my idea of fun.

Dude, Dexter and Hector (who has his very own Instagram) are often featured across both mine and Beautykinguk's social media, so instead of getting baby spam, you get cute cat spam instead.

But having cat comes with responsibility. Did you know that there is an estimated 10.5 million cats in the UK with 24% of the population owning cat - wow! Add to that 26% of cats have never been vaccinated, so that is 2.7 million vaccinated cats. Vaccinations for cats are just as vital as those we have as humans to protect us from illness and disease. Many pet owners believe that if cats are vaccinated as kittens, the immunity received will protect them for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately this is not the case. After vaccination, the immune response reaches a peak and then begins to decline, until the level of immunity is no longer sufficient. Booster vaccination stimulates the immune response so that immunity is maintained.Merial is on a mission to change this! We have launched a national campaign to reach one million cat owners, with the use of social media, to educate them on the importance of vaccination. If you are not sure whether or not your cat is covered, take the quiz at the bottom of the homepage to check, it is just three easy questions and it takes seconds.

To raise awareness of and the people over at Viral Cats have kindly donated an incredible cat hamper to giveaway and here it is:

I used to have 2 cats but only have one now, she is a very old lady of 22, and just eats and sleeps now and the odd wonder around the garden or lazing in the sun. This is when she is not being yapped at by the pup who wants to play x

Our cat is called Cleo. She's a 10 month old tabby that we got from cats protection and she has made our home so much warmer.I can't even remember what it was like not to have a cat now!I'd love to win this hamper because...well I fear I am boring a crazy cat lady and I should probably have something to show for it!! I have lots of pics and videos on my Instagram of her, check it out!! Instagram.com/daydreaming_dee

I have 2 cats, a giant Maine Coon Called Dexter and a Bengal x Persian Chinchilla called Nimbus, I'd love to win this hamper as Dexter has his eye on the mouse, Nimbus loves catnip and I really could do with a new mug, this hamper has all those angles covered :)

I grew up around cats, my parents have my cat from my teen years (she decided she loved my Mum more) and sadly my cat that I had later on died :( and I've never thought about getting another really but perhaps one day. x

I have two gorgeous kitties named Egg (don't ask!) and Mia - this hamper looks fantastic, thanks for running! It's also a very important message, along with making sure cats are neutered and microchipped :)

Tiggy is 17 years old and has no teeth. She's more like a dog than a cat and can drive me mad at times. I do love her though even with all her weird traits :-) I'd love to win some treats for her. She's one of a kind.

My 7 months old kittens are called Jug, Ms. Kit, and runty and they're an absolute handful but I wouldn't give them up for anything. They go through food like it's air! they're the greediest fur babies i've ever come across but a joy to have around.

Dylan is my eldest cat, he was my companion when I lived alone and is named after Bob Dylan. Ivy is my crazy cat who was my wedding present from my hubby 😊 I'd love to win to give them some treats to ease the stress of moving house xx

My cat is called Sebastian, I would love him to win the hamper as he spent the first year of his life on the streets & suffered cruelty which has left him without a 'meow', he squeaks. He's the most affectionate & gentle chap who just by 'being' has helped me through a difficult time, so a treat would be wonderful way to say thank you to him :)

I have two cats Milo and Sebastian, we are a cat loving family and My sister in Law would adore this stash she has 3 cats, Poppy, Honey and Max - Max is a real tear jerker of a story. He was stolen as an older kitten, 4 years later Raysted caled to say he had been found and her name was on the cip and home he came - 4 years now - always chip!!!

I don't have a cat, but I want to win this for my sister.Her cats are called Mew and Jinx. She loves cats more than anyone else I know and she treats them like princesses. It's her birthday at the end of the month so this would be a brilliant present for her :)

My old puss is Oscar and a wee young kitten called Mona (momo).They would not say 'No' to win this fabulous Hamper.They can chose between themselves on their new favourite freebie and what I can have as they are both independently stubborn.Good Luck to all

My girl is called Princess Fifi Pixiepants... My poor girl has to have dental work done on Thursday and I intend to spend the weekend snuggled up with her. She needs some treats to make herself feel better (other than enforced mummy cuddles!!)

I don't have cats (although back in 1999 we did have the pleasure of catsitting a little kitten called Jackie) but my sister adores cats and her cat is called Pooky. I'd love to win for her because she's feline mad.

Our wonderful cat, Pusskin, is truly the most amiable, loving and affectionate cat. She is also very forgiving of anything we do. Comes in handy just now as we have to give her different meds twice a day. Although she's a real trouper at the vets; patient and non-aggressive, when it takes too long, she'll tell me by nestling in my arms.

My mum is head over heels in love with her little cat, dolly who was a lost little farm baby. Would absolutely love to surprise them both with these cute goodies, and maybe keep a little something for me too ;)

i have a really old girl chloe,she is 19,and i have pollypop and katie,ive just had toots put to sleep.he was pollypops son,someone poisoned him :-( gutted.it would be lovely to win to treat my wee furbabies :-)

Bella and George :) Would love to win as I'm slowly turning into the "cat lady" who would rather have cats than men (the "normal" men anyway - do have a slight obsession with famous ones lol). Thanks for the chance.

My cat is called Dappy! I would love to win because my kitty deserves some treats after being involved in a 'hit&run' two weeks ago! He managed to drag himself to the front door so we could get him to the vets! He made it through with only a fractured pelvis and i am now treating him like my King x

My cats name is Tiggs! When we say 'Bedtime' he walks off to bed, and when we say 'Treat' he walks to a certain area of the living room waiting for a treat! Hes got a proper little personality and such a gorgeous little face. My mum has even used him as one of the inspirations for her childrens book series! He would love these treats so so much :)

I rescued a Bengal cat who had been taken from her mum at 6wk old and spent the next four weeks being beat by two teenage boys. She really helps my three kids especially my special needs son as she relaxes him
